Georgian-Zan languages, also known as Karto-Zan languages is a branch of Kartvelian language family that contains Georgian and Zan languages. Svan language forms the other branch of the Kartvelian family, showing characteristic differences from Karto-Zan group.[2] It has been hypothesized that divergence between Svan and Proto-Kartvelian language goes back as far as 19th century BCE. Georgian and Zan languages on the other hand diversified from Proto-Georgian-Zan language during 7th century BCE.[3] Both languages share common archaic words related to metallurgy and agriculture absent in Svan.
Classification
Karto-Zan languages constitute a branch of the Kartvelian language family. Glottolog internally divides Karto-Zan group in Georgic languages, which contain Georgian and its dialects, Judaeo-Georgian and Old Georgian, and Zan languages constituted by the Mingrelian and Laz languages.[4]
